How the Premier League transfer targets fared this weekend

1. David Villa

The Barcelona striker, who Goal.com revealed was being tracked by Arsenal during January, returned to the starting line-up for Sunday's game against Getafe.

The Blaugrana ran out convincing 6-1 winners, with Villa netting the third to put the result out of the visitors' hands.

After struggling on the fringes of the first team in recent weeks, Villa linked well with Lionel Messi throughout but showed his rustiness when he failed to convert Jordi Alba's low cross in the first half.
